So I paid 50 gp to skip the Breed Mantaray task. Luckily, after that, I was able to breed Mantaray and level him up quickly to use for remaining tasks that required this dragon.
I got lucky with battles that required Adrift Princess. I had finished the tournament the day before and got a metal/green/purple dragon that I saved to use when I got to that task and she defeated it first try. Then today, for the 2 battles, I started early and kept battling until I got two green type dragons that she could defeat. The other tasks were prepared previously so I could get through them quickly.
